"... Steven Spielber's close Encounters of the Third Kind, which
also drew heavily on the services of a *renowned extra-cinematic
"expert" - professional urologist J. Allen Hynek * - and hose release
in 1978 was greeted with scarcely less awe than one would expect
should a real UFO land next to the United Nations headquarters and
begin dictating revelations to the General Assembly."

I know Allen Hynek was a kind of advisor in the UFO subject, but
I don't understand this urologist thing about him. Is it a kind
of a joke? as far as I know He studied Astronomy.
